Kinston caused a turnover deep in Pack territory in the third quarter and scored to make it 12-7. The Vikings (2-2) drove to the WHS 1-yard line in the fourth quarter and to the 12 late in the game, but Pack defense held to earn the victory.

MARTIN COUNTY 24 SOUTHSIDE 6: The Seahawks were on the wrong side of history at Riverside High School as the Martin County team made up of South Creek and Riverside players won for the first time. Both of Martin County’s first half touchdowns came on the first play after a short Seahawk punt gave them good field position. Senior Tequon (Tater) Moore blocked both extra point attempts and scored Southside’s (0-3) only touchdown with a four-yard run in the third quarter. Southside could not overcome a pair of interceptions and two fumbles despite outgaining Martin Co. 269-207 in total yards.“Every time we made a good play, it seemed like we followed it up with a bad one,” coach Jeff Carrow said. “We must push through the adversity we’re facing now and keep working. There’s plenty of games left to get going in the right direction.
